How to Make Beef Lentil Soup

  1. Brown 1 lb beef stew meat in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 cup brown or green lentils, 8 cups beef broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the lentils are tender. Stir occasionally.
  5. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
